The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery, Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth. This is a road over which millions

of Negroes are travelling to find a new sense of dignity. This same road has opened for all Americans a new era of progress and hope. It has led to a new Civil Rights Bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to overcome their common problems.

Answer: C is the correct answer. "He refers to the "tortuous road" and "a super highway of justice."

Explanation:

In this passage, Dr. King had two sentences where he used figurative language. Those sentences are;

  1. The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery, Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth.
  2. It has led to a new Civil Rights Bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to overcome their common problems.

The tortuous road to Oslo shows the trials that he has had to endure to get to where he was that day. He had faced criticism, threats, and racial prejudice along his travels. The super highway is the Civil Rights Bill that he beleives will open a new path for justice for all to finally come together without any race issues.

4. Do you believe McCandless is to blame for his own death? Explain your answer
Whitepunk [10]

Chris' inability to forsee problems contributed to his death. He thought he was prepared, but he wasn't. His ignorance about the condition of the Teklanika, his insistence on visiting “uncharted territory,” by not brining a map, meant that once he was ready, mentally and emotionally, to leave, he physically could not. Thus, although he did not purposely mean to take his life (some believe it was sui cide), it comes down to the fact he was ignorant, ill prepared, and should have predicted he would need more than the few supplies he brought with him. Thus, he was responsible for his own death...... an unfortunate and very sad ending to a very young life.
